Tan pronto se pudo reservé la última entrega de los juegos de Pokémon. Pokémon Leyendas Z-A se llama y tiene algunos cambios respecto de las ediciones anteriores. Me reenganché a la saga con Escudo/Espada (en mi caso Escudo), jugué el...
Title: Rachel Website: rachel.blog RSS Feed: rachel.blog/feed I started this blog after the Christchurch earthquakes because I felt the need to talk about my fears but I found that people got sick of me doing this. So I started writing...
I am playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore (TMS) for Switch along with a friend (not in person). He beat the prologue ahead of me. Thanks to work and a certain article project, I took a while to get around to finishing the prologue....

I used to use [Mint](https://mint.intuit.com/) as my budgeting software until [it shut down in March 2024](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/03/business/mint-app-closing-intuit.html). As a replacement I swapped over to...
I am standing on Princes Street while waiting for the bookshop to open. There is a drizzle or rain falling from the grey sky. Earlier, I noticed the red of the morning autumn horizon peek through the clouds. I have. As I always do,...
And into the woods I go, to lose my mind and find my soul. - John Muir Washington Park is the beautiful forested headwaters of the East Verde River, located just beneath the Mogollon Rim (approximately 17 miles outside of Payson). This...
After six active days trekking the Black Forest, fatigue began to show in my feet and knees. On day seven, we chose a gentle, relaxed stroll along the Tonbach stream. The path, a mix of asphalt and forest road, offered peaceful views,...
I hated these journals [that I used to write], or at least I hated reading them. I hated the incessant patter of my own anxious mind... a mind that was always behind deadline, always living in a kind of muffled, abject terror; a mind...

I’m usually the first to admit that the transition from late summer into autumn is one of my least productive periods of the year. This isn’t to say I’m doing nothing, but it’s a time when my thoughts tend toward gathering rather than...
I mentioned in my last Captains Log that I was curious if a web-based privacy focused RSS reader could be built, and I think I'm onto something 👀 Your browser does not support the video tag. User creates an anonymous account with the...
I mentioned in my about page that I used to be a web designer. I have a degree in library science, but I was a web designer for longer than I was a…
Last weekend, we were in Belgium. We took the car and drove all the way to Brussels, spending the night between Bonn and Köln. On the way back, we played a game: try to see how many countries we spotted in the license plates of the cars...
For the next two weeks, they worked in secret, Warner and any work or graduate supervision forgotten. They each proposed experiments and hypotheses to test, but could not increase the fidelity of the memories between timelines. There...
Affinity apps are undergoing controversial changes in 2025 after the Canva acquisition: subscription fears, AI concerns and a move from forum to Discord.
CW: Contains references to suicidal thoughts and self-harm I had another meltdown today, my third one in about two weeks. This time it was caused by a technological kerfuffle: my sister (she has an intellectual disability and autism)...
This is the second time this week, but at least it’s Sunday. The worst is when I wake up at 2am during the working week and can’t fall asleep again. The day is a struggle to get through and I end up feeling so tired that come bedtime, I...

Jujitsu (jj) is a Git-compatible VCS that is both simple and powerful. I am very curious about it, and I would never bother learning more about another VCS if it was not compatible with Git. Since it is, it looks very promising and I am...
An autumn walk My watch gently buzzes me awake. I read a few blog posts on my phone, while staying under the warm covers. Then it’s time to rise; it may be a lazy Sunday, but we have plans. I get washed, dressed, have breakfast and...
In which I appreciate the most autumnal of weeks and we leave our old office
So I completed my first free project for a guy at work. He was really happy with the outcome. My next idea was to overhaul my business site, because I hate it. Fine. But that started me down the path of second guessing whether I should...
Hace tiempo lo mencioné en mis redes pero no profundicé mucho en el tema: estoy participando en el desarrollo de un lector RSS de código abierto (sí, ya sé que existen muchos y probablemente alguna persona me dirá que hasta mejores, está...
Back when Twitter was fun and Tumblr was new, the idea of posting small blogs, or “micro blogging”, caught the public’s eye. For those of us who found regular, long-form, blogging to be too overwhelming, posting a little thought here or...
October 2025. Sighișoara. Romania. In the Uber on the way back from the bear cuddling Mrs RM devised a radical plan to boost her blog views. Leaving our room in Brasov for a night we caught a Flix bus from the main bus station, where the...
The Perfetto team spent a lot of time earlier this year rewriting our documentation to be more useful for the average developer. We struggled a lot to figure out “what is the best way to structure our documentation”. When reading...
I read with interest recent posts by Leon and Bix about — in essence — how to deal with taking a stance, by calling things out with their names. At the same time, I've exchanged very interesting private conversations about the very same...
We aren’t just a sum of parts but the product of constant division and multiplication, constantly denying the erratic arithmetic and calling our denial self. The parts we live with are who we are, and those we cannot live with are the...
I wrote this during the first days of autumn here in the Netherlands while looking out of the window from my desk at the library. There is this pond next to us, full of waterlilies and a big tree which I still need to find its name....
On May 20, 1999, just after five in the morning, my daughter was born. If you've been in that room, you know. Reality splits clean in two. Awe, terror, love, relief, all of it flooding in at once. The room erupting with her furious...
El querer expresarse de manera independiente y hacer llegar las cosas a nuestros semejantes es algo que siempre ha estado ahí. En la antigüedad se hacían pinturas rupestres y se relataban historias en forma oral, luego se pasó a la...
This month I decide to try something new and join in for the IndieWeb Movie Club, for Octobers movie is the 1995 classic, Hackers. It's funny to think that I have never seen the movie despite all the talk about it in hacker circles. I...
Good morning — or mostly morning. ☕️ We are in the midst of the arrival of fall. The trees are filled with wonderful reds and oranges and the evenings are crisp. I love this time of year. Hikes, campfires, and cool breezes are on the...
Background I watched Mauricio Lauffer's Devtoberfest session Testing SAP CAP Node.js apps with cds.test yesterday, it was great. Thanks Mauricio! It's a nice accompaniment to the Testing with cds.test topic in Capire. Setting up a test...
On a blustery, rainy, altogether miserable afternoon, I found myself thinking, inevitably, of Philip Larkin. I knew his uncollected autumn poem of 1961 – 'And now the leaves suddenly lose strength.Decaying towers stand still, lurid,...
La saga di Resident Evil ha sempre rappresentato una delle mie lacune più imbarazzanti da videogiocatore. Fin da quando, 199X, provai il primo capitolo da amici e lo snobbai con una frase del tipo...
Thinking about community, beauty, and knowing your neighbors.
I think I've figured out the best Golf experience. Each hole would start with a Topgolf driving range situation where you don't need to find your balls. Then there's an off-road course with golf carts to get to a fanciful putt putt...
When the The Unbearable Lightness of Being: The Movie was out, it was unescapable. I was far too young for it, so I have never seen, but still: I remember that the marketing for it was everywhere, and the discussions about it were ever...
